Opening Friday, December 23, 2022, and operating every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Alameda’s Winter Warming Shelter provides a warm place to sleep, dinner, breakfast, a shower (on Wednesdays and Fridays), toiletries, clothing, and limited overnight storage during the colder winter months ahead. Guests may also bring one approved, well-behaved pet. The Warming Shelter will be open through April 30, 2023.

Christ Episcopal Church is hosting the Warming Shelter at 1700 Santa Clara Avenue. Warming Shelter guests should enter through the Grand Street parking lot.

The Housing Consortium of the East Bay (HCEB) is operating the Warming Shelter. HCEB also operates Jack Capon Villa on Lincoln Avenue, an 18-unit affordable housing community for low income individuals with developmental disabilities. 

Many thanks to Christ Episcopal Church leadership, congregation, and volunteers, who continue to fulfill this critical need in our community, and made a significant monetary contribution to help operate the Warming Shelter. 

If you are interested in supporting the Warming Shelter, you can purchase an item on the Warming Shelter Wish List or volunteer your time and support with meals.
